Lein and boot do the same thing, in general, but boot is easier to extend. With Lein, you give it a list of things you want... With boot you tend to give it a list of tasks.. So that gives you a bit more leverage to do things in a different order or in different manners in different situations etc..
I have never been convinced to switch. But some folks love boot.
Yes, boot is an alternative to lein. Honestly, I don't really know if it has any benefit over lein.
If I can remember correctly Spacemacs uses smartparens by default which is a newer implementation of paredit (I believe). Structured editing in lisp-mode works so well I never felt the need to replace smartparens.
Yes that sounds right. Cider is great. I haven't tried boot. Is it an alternative to Leiningen ?
Also, do you use any package to keep a track of parenthesis like
